Chuck,
I did not feel you were doing that. I thought you had a legitimate question. I would like to back up Dave's comments about blowing out the robot. The Victors are open on the top and blowing air around them just serves to push the debris further into the corners inside the case. The same goes for bearings and fans. Cover all electronics when you need to machine and/or turn the robot on it's side. I picked a chip out of the pins on an RC for a team last week at Midwest. A vacuum and a paint brush did not remove it and it was so small you could only see it with a bright light. Removal cleared the "no data radio" and "RC Hardware" lights.
